The Jets are finalizing a deal with free agent Robby Felix
The Jets are finalizing a contract with free agent center Robby Felix, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person requested anonymity because the deal is pending.

The 6-3, 302-pound center was a four-year starter at Texas-El Paso. Felix, who earned first-team all-conference honors as a senior, suffered a stroke a few hours after his final college game.

Felix worked out at TEST Sports Clubs in New Jersey before the Ravens signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He was eventually cut and played in the UFL last season.

Felix also participated as a tryout player at the Giants rookie mini-camp two weeks ago.
